Watercolour on Vellum

Hello there. It's the start of another CAS Watercolour Challenge. It's my first time hosting the challenge and theme I have chosen is 'Watercolour on Vellum'.

I tried a few different techniques, before I settled on this card...

I've never tried  watercolour stamping with penny black brushstroke stamps on vellum before, but the MISTI stamping tool makes it so easy, because you definitely need to stamp more than once.  I backed the vellum with white card and added the adhesive behind the stamped image.  The sentiment die is from Lawn Fawn.


I hope you'll  head on over to CAS Watercolour and check out the rest of the cards by the Design Team and by our wonderful Guest Designer,   You have until March 24th to link up your card - we can't wait to see what you create.

    I am going to try this with a PB stamp I think. Your card is just lovely. Did you put the vellum onto the backing card first or after stamping?

    The flowers are so bright and pretty Jenny and the stamping on to the vellum has worked beautifully and great contrast with the black layer and die cut sentiment. Beautiful! x

    Beautiful choice of colours, Jenny - love the soft look you achieved with the vellum and backing it with white cs. The black panel and sentiment provides great contrast.
